What is a Database License Agreement?

A database license agreement, also known as DLA, is a contract between two or more people governing the terms of an arrangement to share database ownership. This type of agreement is most often used when a company wants to share its data with a third party without compromising its privacy or jeopardizing its business. They also detail the specifics about what type of data is being shared among the parties and for how long.

A database license agreement is also helpful for companies that need to share databases. Most often, a database license agreement is used to allow employees to access company software without risk of negative legal repercussions.

"Michael's expertise and judgment impressed me. I brought him in for contract advisory work, and he quickly asked the questions I hadn't considered, identified the risks that mattered, and set aside the ones I had wrongly prioritized. He changed how I understood the contract. He is an excellent advisor - highly recommended."

Ken’s practice includes business formation and restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, private investments and fundraising transactions, contract drafting and negotiation, and cross-border matters.

"It is not easy to find a lawyer that knows Offshore Asset Protection Trusts, which own a foreign LLC, which owns a USA LLC. Fines could reach $100K if the tax forms are incorrect, or not filed. He was able to review my draft returns and provide memos with required changes (many, many changes), after 1 follow-up everything was basically done other than a few tiny edits. I really appreciated how he worked me in, right in the busiest time of tax season, to ensure there were no errors. Would definitely hire again."
